Bolt: throw gently key bind, cant be changed.

[b1k3rdude]

So I have LMB bound to walk forward, but the game for some reason has this hard coded to 'Throw gently'

[WINKOИER]

Yea I can walk with the bolt, no problem

[b1k3rdude]

Any pointers as to what control setting I should be look at? I should have also stated I am not running stock bindings.

[b1k3rdude]

Welp, I tried to have another look at the settings, but now the game is crashing to desktop with a kernel error.

[WINKOИER]

Beats me. Maybe check the secondary keybinds if there's a any conflict? I changed lot of keybinds too including bolt quick access, but I didn't encounter such issue.

Also you could try reverting to default if it fixes the issue. If not it might be something else.

You can backup your current keybinds from AppData/Local/Stalker2/Saved/CustomizeControls.cfg

So looking at -

- AppData/Local/Stalker2/Saved/CustomizeControls.cfg

The only section that has 'throw' in it, is for the grenade, there isn't one for the bolt.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bolt =
Grenade : struct.begin
[0] : struct.begin
DefaultID = -1
bIsPlayerMappable = true
PlayerMappableOption = Grenade_ThrowWeakAlt
InputActionSID = IA_Grenade_ThrowWeak
Key = None
OldKey = None
Triggers : struct.begin
[0] = EPlayerActionInputTrigger::Down
struct.end
struct.end
[1] : struct.begin
DefaultID = -1
bIsPlayerMappable = true
PlayerMappableOption = Grenade_ThrowWeak
InputActionSID = IA_Grenade_ThrowWeak
Key = None
OldKey = None
Triggers : struct.begin
[0] = EPlayerActionInputTrigger::Down
struct.end
struct.end
struct.end
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even if I change the main/alt keys to 'none' the game STILL uses the RMB to 'throw gently'

Logged a support ticket with GSC, as I should be able to change key binds without them being hard coded.

I logged a ticket with GSC, but I got aqn uproductive reply -

"Our team is aware of these concerns, and they’ve been shared with the development team for review and future improvements. While we don’t have
a specific timeline to share right now, please know that we’re committed to addressing these issues."

throw the bolt gently CAN be rebound, it just doesn't work. It works properly for grenades but not for bolts (the same function/button). I opened a support ticket and reported the bug on launch day. I swap space and mouse2 (mouse2 for jump and space for ADS/secondary fire) and I can jump just fine when I have grenades out and space will underhand them, but when I have bolts out, it still uses mouse2 to underhand them and I can't jump which makes it annoying for jumping puzzles with anomalies as I have to throw the bolt and then put it away real fast so I can run and jump.

Yep, and I cant walk forward, so have to through and then select another weapon so I bloody walk forward.

The issue is that the RMB function is hard bound.

As of patch 1.03 this is still broken, an issue.

Potential fix

I managed to fix it by editing \AppData\Local\Stalker2\Saved\CustomizeControls.cfg and splitting the part where the Bolt + Grenade bind are defined together into two separate binds.

Old, busted bind:

   Bolt =
   Grenade : struct.begin
      [0] : struct.begin
         DefaultID = -1
         bIsPlayerMappable = true
         PlayerMappableOption = Grenade_ThrowWeak
         InputActionSID = IA_Grenade_ThrowWeak
         Key = MiddleMouseButton
         OldKey = RightMouseButton
         Triggers : struct.begin
            [0] = EPlayerActionInputTrigger::Down
         struct.end
      struct.end
   struct.end

New, working binds:

   Bolt : struct.begin
      [0] : struct.begin
         DefaultID = -1
         bIsPlayerMappable = true
         PlayerMappableOption = Bolt_ThrowWeak
         InputActionSID = IA_Bolt_ThrowWeak
         Key = MiddleMouseButton
         OldKey = RightMouseButton
         Triggers : struct.begin
            [0] = EPlayerActionInputTrigger::Down
         struct.end
      struct.end
   struct.end
   Grenade : struct.begin
      [0] : struct.begin
         DefaultID = -1
         bIsPlayerMappable = true
         PlayerMappableOption = Grenade_ThrowWeak
         InputActionSID = IA_Grenade_ThrowWeak
         Key = MiddleMouseButton
         OldKey = RightMouseButton
         Triggers : struct.begin
            [0] = EPlayerActionInputTrigger::Down
         struct.end
      struct.end
   struct.end

Now if only I could figure out how to persist the invert mouse setting.
